Or so I went to bed thinking this morning!! I have spent the last two weeks trying to motivate myself into working on this throw for Mark's birthday, because oh you know, he needed another one to go with the half dozen other afghans I've made him over the years!
Finally after staying up until noon-thirty today to get that last strip finished - for the second time... Washed, dried and ready to wrap for his birthday today! Then I woke up!
Took this picture and realized....$#@*!!!! I screwed it up again!!!!
Oh yes, see how those squares very nicely show an diagonal pattern? Then BAM, slam on the brakes...what the hell happened there!!! AGAIN! Oh yah, twice, not once but twice, I miss ordered the pattern!
Grrrr!! Well you know what they say about best laid plans and all that. Of course, It is now 7:30 pm, I have to work tonite (almost had to work a twelver on very little sleep- thank you Jason), and no time to fix it to take it over to the birthday boy tonite before I leave for work.
No I am not going to give it to him that way....oh horrors! I will just have to give it to him late and fix it tomorrow...or maybe the next day, now that I blew it, whats the hurry...right?
Oh well, off to work I go to sulk over it all night.

I've had this happen to me with a quilt top. I didn't notice the blocks were in the wrong order until I took a photo. Then the error was obvious. I hate ripping or frogging.
Congratulations on your luck at the casino.
Don't ya hate that Nancy! How aggravating to do it twice too. Poor Mark, only got his pie and a picture for his birthday...LOL
I was going to say just leave it and let it be a design feature...(it's NOT BAD!)
But....heck. I'd be ripping it apart to fix it too. :P Can't wait to see the next pic! LOL!!
Hope he likes it!!! :O)
Oh, my, it's wonderful! Even with the flaw. WOW! I'm so impressed.
I just had to pop over after seeing your profile picture! My Sheltie passed away last March. He was my buddy true and true! I still think he should be sleeping beside my bed every morning!
Cheers!
